The Lalù 2021 Barolo Le Coste di Monforte is a complete and finely balanced wine, offering light berry fruit, floral notes and small-grained tannins that feel elegant rather than austere. Energy defines the palate, with a sense of lift that carries through the finish and supported by a delicate vinification that favors infusion over extraction. Drawn from a windy, southern Monforte d'Alba site with pale white marl soils and fermented in Austrian wooden vats with extended but largely static maceration, this Barolo highlights finesse as a defining feature of the estate’s approach.
